The comments about Passion are bewildering to me. This is an album from a band moving forward and updating their sound to the modern, rather than resting on their laurels.


In Lazland, life is transient. Prog is permanent.

I have to say that I didn't enjoy Passion at all. I thought the heavier sound worked against them. I stopped the CD after the first track. It just was disappointing to me. I understand their music had headed in a new direction, but I was surprised by the heaviness and gobs of crunch guitar. It just did little for me. I might listen again after I fully recover from this letdown.
Ouch

Well, it's nobody's fault. Sometimes you just have take some chances, right? I very rarely buy a CD that I'm completely repulsed by, but this new Pendragon offering is pretty close to making me want to give up on them, but, as I said, I'm going to listen again. I hope Pure is better because I have that one on order too.
 
All I can say Mirror is you get paid too much.

I Love pendragon always have ,most likely always will,I have had all the albums,cds,dvds,right from way back to 1979-1980,and what a ride its been,some brilliant purely pendragon music along the way.Pure I must admit takes a lot of plays to get used to ,but its worth the wait,until it all clicks into placeSmile
 My favorite pendragon cds in no real order are,The World,Superb to me every song,Window of life ,which is just fine music and thoughtfull powerful music,then followed by The Masquerade Overture ,what a fine trio of Albums they wereSmile then onto Not of this World,which I think lyrically was a peak for Nick,but there are many peaks to this band,then quite a few years later we got a new start of sorts with Believe ,Pure and Passion again a trio pf sorts in my mind,and love all 3 equally,but Have a slight soft spot for Believe as when at a point were Nick wasn;t sure he was releasing a dvd at the time sent me his own personal copy of the making of dvd,to watch,which was Just how Nick and the rest of the Pendragon family have been with me over such a long time.
 My favorite pendragon keepsake is the World Picture disc cd that I searched for for years ,and finally Nick sent me a copy he had as he knew I wanted it so much.
 And I can recommend all the Pendragon DVD'S and if you think Dave Gilmore can play a bit watch these DVD'S and you will see why Nick is the top of the tree for Prog Guitar in my oppinion.
 So to finish whether it fly high fall far from 1980 or the New out of order comes Chaos dvd ,pick any point in the great Pendragon Catalogue and if you are a fan of great progressive,Guitar driven music with the best lyrics of any rock band I know,you will love Pendragon as much as I do.Smile
And with what Wilcey had to say it looks like we have a lot of wonderful music to look forward to in the near future Big smile
Cheers John
